I used to get people trying to trick me into turning in front of them all the time in the company car for the last company I worked for.
Usually go like;
Me: making right turn out of a parking lot see a car with their blinker on presumably turning into the place I'm leaving so I creep forwards a few feet.
Other car: sees me creeping forwards and think I'm going to turn in front of them so floors it.
Happened so many times I don't even move until they're already halfway turned.
My favorite one;
Me: making a left turn onto a main street
Other car: making a left turn onto the side street I'm on
Other car: waves me out
Me: just looks at him
Other car: backs up a bit and waves me out
Me: just looks at him
Other car: backs up a bit more and waves me out
Me: "I see where this is going..."
Other car: puts it into reverse to continue the dance
Me: floors it as soon as they shift into reverse
Other car: puts it into drive as fast as they can and tries to ram me
A prius is a lot quicker than people think...dude's lucky I was in the company car because I'd have gotten out at the next light and slashed their tires if someone did that to me in my personal vehicle -- can't really do that in a car with the company phone # on the side in big lettering.
- tetromino_ 9y agoI think I'm missing something, why were you being targeted by these people?
- maym86 9y agoInsurance fraud. Fleet vehicles and taxis have high insurance requirements and people can get payouts. I've seen videos of people putting their car into reverse to force a rear end collision to make it look like the driver behind is at fault.
- sjg007 9y agoCars have 30sec black boxes.. I think that should cover this scenario as do dash cams.
